    Abstract Global pressures have urged organizations to incorporate sustainable international human resource management (IHRM) systems to be socially responsible. This paper proposes that integrating IHRM with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and shared value may be the solution This study analyzes sustainability within the IHRM field, including other sustainable concepts to demonstrate the relevance of labor and employment relation within human resource management. Employment relations and the importance of developing IHRM strategies involving workers and managers to increase shared value are also explained in the study. In turn, this integration enhances organizational performance and competitive advantage. Accordingly, this paper proposes a model to unleash the bridge between IHRM and employment relations in multinationals operating in emerging economies and proposes some propositions. Implications for research and practice are also discussed in the paper.

    Abstract The incidence of miscarriage in early pregnancy, between 5-20 weeks, is common, with a prevalence of between 5-22% of all pregnancies. Miscarriage can have physical, social, and mental health impacts on women and their families. In societies such as Taiwan, where the birth rate is falling and life expectancy is increasing, there is concern that factors that reduce birth rates will have detrimental economic and societal effects. Progesterone has a significant role in maintaining early and successful pregnancy to term. Evidence from preclinical and clinical research on the roles of progesterone has supported recent clinical guidelines in obstetrics and gynecology to reduce rates of early miscarriage and improve methods of assisted reproductive technology (ART). This article aims to present an evidence-based review of current recommendations for the use of progesterone in early pregnancy to reduce miscarriage rates and in luteal phase support for ART, including embryo transfer.

    Abstract Although various research efforts have been made to produce a vascular-like network structure as scaffolds for tissue engineering, there are still several limitations. Meanwhile, no articles have been published on the direct embedding of cells within a glucose sensitive sacrificial hydrogel followed by three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting to fabricate vascular structures. In this study, the hydrogel composed of reversibly crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate and dithiothreitol with borax and branched polyethylenimine was used as the sacrificial hydrogel to fabricate vascular-like network structure. The component proportion ratio of the sacrificial hydrogel was optimized to achieve proper self-healing, injectable, glucose-sensitive, and 3D printing properties through the balance of boronate ester bond, hydrogen bond, and steric hinderance effect. The endothelial cells (ECs) can be directly embedded into sacrificial hydrogel and then bioprinted through a 110

    Abstract Face morphing attacks have become increasingly complex, and existing methods exhibit certain limitations in capturing fine-grained texture and detail changes. To overcome these limitation, in this study, a detection method based on high-frequency features and progressive enhancement learning was proposed. Specifically, in this method, first, high-frequency information are extracted from the three color channels of the image to accurately capture the details and texture changes. Next, a progressive enhancement learning framework was designed to fuse high-frequency information with RGB information. This framework includes self-enhancement and interactive-enhancement modules that progressively enhance features to capture subtle morphing traces. Experiments conducted on the standard database and compared with nine classical technologies revealed that the proposed approach achieved excellent performance.

    Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is an emerging manufacturing technology to print materials with cells for tissue engineering applications. In this study, we prepared novel ternary soft segment-based biodegradable polyurethane (tPU) using waterborne processes. The ternary soft segment included poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), polylactide, and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). tPU2 with a soft segment of PCL, poly(D,L-lactide), and PHB in a molar ratio of 0.7 : 0.2 : 0.1 demonstrated lower stiffness (∼2.3 kPa) and a greater tan

    Abstract Objective: The service status of tunnel lighting has an important impact on driving safety. Existing research mainly discussed the impact of a single evaluation indicator of lighting service status on driving safety and paid less attention to the impact of multiple evaluation indicators on driving safety.
    Methods: In this research, field tests of tunnels in three speed scenarios and 52 service scenarios are completed. DIALux software was selected to simulate more intensive illuminance, which could be used to calculate
    Results: The results show that the four independent variables occupied different weights under different working conditions. However, on the whole,
    Conclusions: The influence of the total uniformity of the road surface luminance and longitudinal uniformity of the road centerline luminance on driving safety was significantly greater than the influence of the contrast revealing coefficient and luminance contrast

    Abstract By evaluating the eco-environmental resources of China's major grain-producing regions, the development status of the eco-environmental resources in major grain-producing regions of China was clarified. This is of great significance in maintaining green and sustainable agricultural development and ensuring food security. This paper takes 13 major grain-producing regions in China as the study area, constructs the eco-environment index system by using the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR). The average annual growth rate represents the dynamic changes of each indicator, and the random forest model by using Jupyter Notebook is selected to evaluate the current state of development of the eco-environment resources from 2005 to 2020. The combination of dynamic and static evaluation of the eco-environmental resources is more conducive to decision makers to keep abreast of developments in the eco-environmental resources. The results show that: Firstly, there are differences between static and dynamic conditions that more number of important indicators in static conditions than in dynamic conditions, and the number of important indicators located at the driving force criterion level is higher. Secondly, under static conditions, the evaluation results of eco-environmental resources show an overall upward trend (4.10 in 2005 and 4.65 in 2020); under dynamic conditions, the evaluation results of eco-environmental resources show an overall downward trend (4.35 in 2005 and 4.13 in 2020). Thirdly, there are differences in spatial distribution. Under static conditions, the spatial distribution of regional eco-environmental resource levels is generally “high in the north and low in the south”, while under dynamic conditions, it is “high in the south and low in the north”. Finally, according to the different important indicators in the north and south, the northern region should develop plans to increase the penetration rate of agricultural mechanization and improve the efficiency of water resources utilization, while the southern region should pay more attention to the development of green agriculture, accelerate the construction of urbanization, and improve the efficiency of water resources utilization.
